Synopsis

Clara, a young woman, is captured by a serial killer named Leonard, who documents his "life story" through a scrapbook filled with mementos from his many victims. The scrapbook contains Polaroids, pieces of clothing, and other small keepsakes, along with written entries that Leonard has compelled his victims to provide, describing their experiences. Clara is subjected to physical abuse, rape, starvation, and confinement in deplorable conditions, forced to remain filthy and unclothed. She is made to write in the scrapbook, contributing her own account of suffering. As she begins to understand the importance of the scrapbook to Leonard, Clara sees an opportunity to use her writings to manipulate him, in the hope of surviving.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 9

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
